In 1952, Congress established the National Day of Prayer as an annual event by a joint resolution, signed into law by President Harry Truman. The NDP designation (36 U.S.C. § 119) calls for the nation "to turn to God in prayer and meditation." Thursday, May 7, 2015.
All believers were to pray at noon, for the country. You didn’t have to spend the whole day in prayer, although that would have been nice. In 1775 the First Continental Congress called for a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer. Along the way, we have lost the fasting and a majority isn’t humiliated by anything, and that’s a problem.
A lot of people don’t take time to pray for our country because they forget, it’s not important, it won’t do any good, or numerous other excuses. Heck, they won’t know what happened when all the prayers are answered.
The prez says we are no longer a Christian nation. He may be right. There’s a lot of evidence that points to that fact. But, there are enough to change the path of destruction to a path of redemption.
It’s never too late to pray.
Make it a daily event and see what happens.
